I've owned dogs all my life. I recently lost my 17 year old dog and me and Molly (10) miss her terribly. So we are wanting to have some dog friends in our house again. I believe that dogs get too lonely by themselves when their parents have to leave them. And parents feel guilty about that. Our house is a place where they can relax and hang around and not be alone. They can go in and out as they need to and be secure in my yard. There is of plenty of shade in the back yard. I wish to provide a relaxing, safe place for your dog while you are gone so that you feel like you don't have to worry about anything.
